MORTON’S OWN IMAGES 


From the freshman year 
to the end of the senior year, 
the Morton student grows 
and developes a new and 
unique type of lifestyle. 
Free time, academics, 
friends, sports, and general 
activities are all a part of the 
students' environment. 

Several of the Morton stu¬ 
dents also spend time out¬ 
side of school activities. 
Some take jobs and others 
have hobbies or spend time 
with friends. 

Most of the Morton stu¬ 
dents reflect back to the 


high school years as some of 
the best years of life. High 
school gives everyone the 
chance to express them¬ 
selves according to each 
one's ideas and concepts. 

As a student body, Morton 
also carries out their own 
type of lifestyle. Academics 
and sports are activities 
which provide a group in¬ 
volvement. 

Also, general activities in 
the different clubs and orga¬ 
nizations provide for group 
participation. Students 
learn to work together and 


to communicate with other 
people. 

As the years pass, Mor¬ 
ton's reflection changes ac¬ 
cording to the type of stu¬ 
dent body. Yet Morton has 
many achievements 
throughout the school years 
which are a part of Morton's 
overall reputation. 

Toward the end of the 
school years at Morton, each 
student has made his or her 
own lifestyle, and each has 
their own ... IMAGES.

4 Free Time 






















Most Morton stu¬ 
dents enjoy the time 
after school more than 
the time in school. 
After the 3 P.M. bell, 
students head for fa¬ 
vorite hangouts” 
(anywhere from ar¬ 
cades to cruising in 
cars). Some work for 
local businesses for ex¬ 
tra money, while oth¬ 
ers work with organi¬ 
zations for fun. Free 
time activities project 
the fun Morton stu¬ 
dents have — only one 
of many ... IMAGES.

CLASS 

English, science, math, 
and social studies are all 
required at Morton. Spe¬ 
cialized classes in each de¬ 
partment lets students 
study exactly what they 
need to gain knowledge 
and skills for future edu¬ 
cation and careers. Some 
classes are considered less 
interesting than others, 
but most lessons are re¬ 
membered for a long time.

Morton has many op¬ 
portunities for students 
to develop long lasting 
friendships. Classes, 
clubs, and other activi¬ 
ties give students the 
chance to meet other 
students with similar in¬ 
terests and goals, the 
foundation that friend¬ 
ships need. Ample time 
during lunch and be¬ 
tween classes lets stu¬ 
dents participate in a fa¬ 
vorite past time: gossip¬ 
ing, which helps devel¬ 
op friendships even 
more. Friendships are 
an important part of the 
students’ lives — an¬

students’ ... IMAGES.

COMING AT YA 


On the night of September 
30, 1983, Angie Keutzer, es¬ 
corted by Ruben Urbano, 
was crowned 1983 Home¬ 
coming Queen by last year’s 
Queen, Chris Dujan. 

The court consisted of 
Mary Beth Carmon and Man¬ 
uel Lopez, Sue Gonzales and 
Richard Berrones, Kellie 
O’Brien and Jerry Ryzewski, 
Shelley Pulkowski and Dan 
Guzek, and Michelle Taylor 
and Scott Young. 

The Homecoming Theme 
was "Coming At Ya”, based 
on the 3-D craze during the 
summer. 


Spirit week started off with 
Monday as semi-formal day, 
Tuesday as pajama day, 
Wednesday as sports day, 
Thursday as punk day, and 
Friday as traditional Red and 
Grey day. 

Other activities such as 
decorating the halls and the 
cheering block were orga¬ 
nized by the booster club. 

Throughout the week, ev¬ 
eryone prepares for that spe¬ 
cial night, which will allow 
the student to show their 
own school spirit, their own

SPORTS 


Morton’s athletic depart¬ 
ment has always been one of 
the lifestyles which people 
participate in the most. 
Whether the lifestyle is in 
athletic ability or just the spir¬ 
it, students become involved. 

The athletic program offers 
fifteen sports that one can be 
involved with. 

Students learn to work as a 
team and how to take on the 
pressure of the practices and 
the game. Many of these stu¬ 
dents spend three to four 
hours each day after school. 

These students which par¬ 
ticipate with athletic activities 
show a part of their own 
IMAGES. 























FORMAL 

IMAGES 

On April 29, 1983, the 
Class of 1984 hosted the an¬ 
nual Junior-Senior Prom, at 
the Wicker Park Social Cen¬ 
ter in Highland. 

The theme, “Just Be¬ 
tween You and Me”, was 
carried out in the red and 
white decorations. The 124 
couples attending Prom 
danced to the music of “Sun¬ 
set” and “Looker”. 

After the evening of for¬ 
mal manners and dress, 
some couples went to local 
beaches, while others went 
to Chicago. 

This one night of being 
with a special person in a 
special place enhanced the 
Morton students' . IM¬

’83 GOVS SET “FREE” 


June 5, 1983 was a day 
filled with cheers, tears, and 
a few fears. On that day, Oli¬ 
ver P. Morton Senior High 
School graduated the 318 
members of the Class of 
1983. 

The 1983 commencement 
exercises were in the Mor¬ 
ton Auditorium. The gradu¬

tions. Valedictorian Tim Sa- 
lach spoke of the future and 
said goodbye to his class¬ 
mates. Salutatorian Garry 
Graban asserted the value 
of self-image for future suc¬ 
cesses. 

Mrs. Kathleen Hill from 
the Board of School Trust¬ 
ees and Mr. Richard French, 


Assistant to the Superinten¬ 
dent, presented the diplo¬ 
mas to the class. 

Class President Heidi 
Mandichak read the class 
creed and the cheers and 
tears began as the members 
of the class flipped their tas¬ 
sels to the right side of their 
caps, becoming official 
graduates of Morton Senior 
High. 



The graduating Class of 1983 are 
applauded after they have re¬

by senior Tracy Hall and the male 


role was played by senior Todd 
Hilbrich. , . rr „ 

Other productions which Hall

TOP 10 IN REGION NEWS 


The following article ap¬ 
peared in The Times on Janu¬ 
ary 1, 1984. Top Hat would 
like to thank The Times Staff 
for their permission to reprint 
this article. 


The ailing steel industry 
was the Calumet Region's top 
story in 1983. 

Soaring health care costs 
and utility rate hike battles 
also lead the list of the Re¬ 
gion's top 10 stories for 1983, 
as chosen by The Times’ edi¬ 
tors. 

The year also saw political 
history in the making with the 
election of a Republican may¬ 
or in Hammond and the first 
black mayor in Chicago. 

And the long, hot summer of 
1983 won’t soon be forgotten 
by Indiana and Illinois farm¬ 
ers, some of whom lost up to 
half of their crops because of 
the drought. 

The top ten stories for 1983 
are: 


STEEL 


When the 1983 industry 
losses are tallied, they are ex¬ 
pected to reach the $2 billion 
mark — an improvement over 
last year’s $3.6 billion in¬ 
dustrywide loss. 

The United Steelworkers 
union lost, too, when it signed 
a historic concessions agree¬ 
ment on March 1, giving back 
$1.25 an hour and a portion of 
the benefit package. 

The biggest story was at 
U.S. Steel’s South Works, 
where the battle for a rail mill 
and the fear of a shutdown 
plaughed workers all year. 
Last week, U.S. Steel said it 
will not build the rail mill, but 
it will not shut down the two 
operating departments there 
either. The company offered 
no committments as to how 


long the mill will continue op¬ 
erating. 

On a more positive note, 
Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp. 
unveiled a continuous caster 
at its Indiana Harbor Works, 
while Inalnd Steel Co. and 
U.S. Steel Corp. announced 
plans to build similar facilities 
at their plants in East Chicago 
and Gary, respectively. 

Inland and Bethlehem Steel 
Corp. began operating their 
new heat-treating lines, 
which will help them meet 
their new higher quality stan¬ 
dards of the auto industry. 

The industry has operated 
at about 55 percent this year, 
up from 48.4 percent last year. 


HEALTH COST 

An exhaustive, six-month 
study by Times Staff Writers 
Lori Olszewski and Timothy 
Bannon revealed that most of 
the Calumet Region’s not-for- 
profit hospitals make a profit 
above the national average for 
hospitals. St. Anthony’s Medi¬ 
cal Center in Crown Point was 
the most expensive place to 
stay among 14 Regional hospi¬ 
tals in Indiana and Illinois 
studies by The Times from 
1978 to 1981. 

Following the series which 
was published in March, St. 
Anthony began lowering its 
rates. Lawrence T. Filosa was 
removed as the hospital’s ad¬ 
ministrator on May 31, and the 
16-member board of directors 
was dissolved. The Times re¬ 
ported in August that Filosa 
headed a network of not-for- 
profit corporations associated 
with the hospital which paid 
him $344,193 from July 1,1981 
and June 30, 1982, including 
$180,000 a year as president 
and chief operating officer at 
St. Anthony’s hospital. 


UTILITY COST 

Indiana ’s Public Service 
Commission granted North¬ 
ern Indiana Public Service Co. 
a 20 percent, $161.6-million 
rate increase in August. On 
December 21, however, the 
PSC began reconsidering if 
NIPSCO’s construction costs 
for the $543-million Schahfer 
Unit 17 power plant are rea¬ 
sonable. PSC members said if 
the rates aren’t reasonable, re¬ 
funds will be ordered. 

Commonwealth Edison filed 
a request with the Illinois 
Commerce Commission to in¬ 
crease revenues by $462.2 mil¬ 
lion annually starting April 
1984. 


ELECTION 


For the first time in 32 
years, a Republican was elect¬ 
ed mayor of Hammond. Thom¬ 
as McDermott defeated Ed¬ 
ward Raskosky — the incum¬ 
bent two-term Democrat — 
with 61 percent of the vote on 
Nov. 8. Raskosky’s campaign 
manager. Brad Bodney, said 
he was aware three weeks be¬ 
fore the election that Ras¬ 
kosky wouldn’t win. 


Thomas McDermott was elected in 
Nov. 1983 as the first Republican 
mayor of Hammond in 32 years. 



26 Local 


















The Hammond election also 
produced another unique 
twist-a tie vote in the 4th Dis¬ 
trict Council race that was de¬ 
cided on Dec. 23. Lake Superi¬ 
or Judge Cordell Pinkerton 
ruled in favor of Republican 
Janet Moran and declared 
Democrat Mark Scholer ineli¬ 
gible to serve because he is a 
police officer. Scholer is ap¬ 
pealing the ruling. 


CH. ELECTION 


In a radically charged elec¬ 
tion campaign, Rep. Harold 
Washington was elected Chi¬ 
cago’s first black mayor on 
April 12, defeating Republican 
Bernard Epton with more 
than 51 percent of the vote. 

Soon after taking office, 
Washington’s 21 black and 
liberal aldermen squared off 
in council chambers with a 
group of 29 white aldermen 
led by 10th Ward Alderman 
Edward Vrdolyak. 


WEATHER 


With the exception of Cook 
County, every county in the 
Calumet Region was declared 
an agricultural disaster last 
summer because of the long, 
dry spell. Corn and soybean 
yeilds were 30 to 50 percent 
lower than last year’s levels in 
most Region counties. New¬ 
ton County crops were the 
hardest hit, with a 70 percent 
loss reported. 

Because of agriculture di¬ 
saster declarations farms are 
eligible for federal assistance 
for 1984 plantings. But tighter 
federal restriction on disaster 
loans mean the number of peo¬ 
ple who can apply is limited. 


WILLARDO 


Lake County Coroner Dr. 
Albert T. Willardo, convicted 
of theft by a Lake County 


jury, resigned May 22. Lake 
Criminal Judge James Clem¬ 
ent reduced Willardo’s felony 
conviction to a misdemeanor, 
then suspended a one-year 
prison sentence on the condi¬ 
tion that Willardo resign. 

Clement also ordered Wil¬ 
lardo to make restitution for 
$4,299 in fradulent milage 
claims which were diverted to 
his campaign in 1978. 

Willardo’s successor — Dr. 
Daniel D. Thomas of Gary — 
was elected June 4. 


KOMYATTI 


A Hammond mother and 
son, a Morton graduate, each 
were sentenced to 100years in 
prison on December 28 for the 
March 20 dismemberment¬ 
slaying of Paul Komyatti Sr., 
whose badly decomposed 
body was found buried in six 
plastic bags along the Lake 
Michigan shoreline in May. 

Lake Criminal Court Judge 
James Letringer sentenced 
Rosemary Komyatti, 58, and 
Paul Komyatti, Jr., 18, each to 
55 years for murder and 45 
years for consipiracy. Mrs. 
Komyatti is to serve the time 
consecutively; Paul Jr. is to 
serve the sentence concur¬ 
rently. 

William Vandiver, 35, the 
elder Komyatti’s son-in-law, 
faces the death penalty for his 
December 19 murder convic¬ 
tion. Vandiver’s wife, Mar- 
iann, testified against her 
mother, brother, and husband. 
Charges against her were re¬ 
duced from murder to a lesser 
felony in exchange for her tes¬ 
timony.

DRUG BUST 


A total of 41 persons were 
indicted in July after a five- 
year federal drug investiga¬ 
tion, dubbed “Operation Sky- 
Caine”, revealed that 120,000 
pounds of marijuana and 2,300 
pounds of cocaine valued at 
$139 million were illegally im¬ 
ported. It was the largest drug 
conspiracy case in Indiana’s 
history. 

Federal authorities charged 
two Calumet Region men — 
Ronald Markowski, 44, of East 
Chicago and George Chiatello, 
42, of Burnham — with oper¬ 
ating a continuing criminal 
enterprise involving the il¬ 
legal importation of cocaine 
and marijuana.

On the morning of October 
21, 1983, the Marines of the 
U.S. peacekeeping force in 
Beirut, Lebanon, were sleep¬

Beirut International Airport. 

At 6:20 AM, a terrorist truck 
laden with dynamite barged

The late winter/early 
spring of 1983 brought record 
warm temperatures to the 
midwest states. However, the 
West Coast was not so lucky 
as rain storms caused millions 
of dollars in damage. The tides 
pounded the coastline forcing 
families to leave their homes 
as the water swept houses and

FOOTBALL 

The 1983 Morton football 
team compiled an overall re¬ 
cord of 4-6. Though the re¬ 
cord might not show it, this 
was a successful year for the 
gridman. 

The team achieved the 
goals that were set at the 
beginning of the year. The 
goals include implementing 
a strong passing game and 
obtaining a more positive at¬ 
titude as a team. There were 
also some outstanding indi¬ 
vidual performances. 



Head Coach George Hall: 

“It was a season that was 
enjoyable, challenging, and 
rewarding because of the 
players we had who made a 
commetment to achieve to 
the best of their ability. ”

CROSS 

COUNTRY 


The 1983 Morton cross¬ 
country season was high¬ 
lighted by the performance 
of senior Sherry Volkman. 
Volkman was the girls' 
cross-country conference 
champ, as well as the sec¬ 
tional champ. She then 
placed fourth in the region¬ 
al and qualified for the 
state meet. 

The team as a whole had a 
somewhat disappointing 
season, finishing with a 3-7 
overall record.

ity as we went through the 
season and finished by beat¬ 
ing some teams in sectional, 
that had defeated us earlier

TENNIS 

The 1983 Morton boy's 
tennis team compiled an im¬ 
pressive record of 6-1 in the 
Indiana Lake Shore Confer¬ 
ence. Their conference re¬ 
cord earned the team a tie 
for second in the confer¬ 
ence. The raquetmen had an 
overall season record of 10- 
4. 

Highlighting the individ¬ 
ual performances was sen¬ 
ior Dan Prljevic, who won 
the number two singles 
championship. 

Prljevic, who was the 
team's captain, was voted 
Most Valuable player and 
senior Bill Todd, Most Im¬ 
proved. 



Head Coach Jerry Wood¬ 
ward: “We had several ex¬ 
perienced players, and this 
resulted in a good season. It 
will be difficult to replace 
the six seniors on the team 
because they were our lead¬ 
ers.

VOLLEYBALL 

The Morton volleyball 
team caped off the 1983 sea¬ 
son by winning their fifth 
straight sectional title and 
the Governors' sixth in the 
last seven years. 

The Lady Gov's, with a 
17-14 record, were not 
picked to win the sectional, 
but over came their regular 
season problems to post a 
thrilling sectional victory at 
home. 



Head Coach Aletta Hicks: 

"This was probably one of 
the best sectionals I've ever 
had because these kids had 
to work so hard together in 
order to get it."

Though the team’s record 
may not show it, they held 
most of their opponents un¬

Head Coach Russ Marcinek: 

“Turnovers were our ma¬

BASKETBALL 

The 1983-84 Morton girls

a very disappointing season, 
finishing with an overall 
season record of 7-11. The 
team finished sixth in the 
Indiana Lake Shore Confer¬ 
ence. The team lost to cross¬ 
town rival, Gavit, in the fi¬ 
nal round of Sectional play. 



Head Coach Sherry Wil¬ 
liams: 

“I'm disappointed that we 
weren't a .500 ball club this 
year. I'm probably more dis¬ 
appointed that we never 
reached a level of consisten¬

of players coming back next 
year so I'm optimistic that 
we can improve our record."

the season on a bad note, 
losing thier first five match¬

Strong individual perfor¬

The 1983-84 Morton swim 
team finished the season 
with an even 6-6 overall re¬ 
cord. The mermen placed 
3rd in the Indiana Lake 
Shore Conference. 

Throughout the season , 
the team was plagued with 
the problem of being under¬ 
manned. Many events had 
to be forfeited because there 
was not enough swimmers. 

Some strong individual 
performances highlighted 
the year. Seniors Rick 
Waywood and Rob Rycerz 
did particularly well. 



Head Coach Peter Koper- 
cinski: 

“Too many kids don’t take 
pride in sports at Morton. 
We lost a few meets that 
could have been won had 
we had more swimmers. ”

BASEBALL 

The 1983 Morton baseball 
team finished a disapointing 
second in the Lake Shore 
Conference behind Bishop 
Noll. They had an overall 
record of 19-7 for the season. 

The team was led by sen¬ 
iors Rob Hernandez and Jeff 
Sullivan who batted .405

pitching department, the 
batmen were led by seniors 
Tom Corak, Jeff Sullivan, 
and Mark Wilson with re¬ 
cords of 6-2, 5-3, and 5-3, re¬ 
spectively. 



Head Coach Jack Georgas: 

“Although we had one of 
the best winning records in 
the state, and one of the best 
in Morton History, it was a 
frustrating season because 
we took second in the Indi¬ 
ana Lake Shore Conference, 
and lost in sectionals ."

The 1983 track team had a

Junior Bruce Lewis con¬ 
tributed one bright spot dur¬ 
ing the season. Lewis quali¬ 
fied for the regionals in the 
high hurdles. 



Head Coach William Ar¬ 
cher: 

" With a very young team 
we did not have good team 
balance, therefore did not 
score enough points in the 
various events to have a 
winning season. We did 
show improvement 
throughout the season and 
expect to do much better in 
the upcoming year. ”

the season with two con¬ 
secutive wins before losing 
to E.C.W. The only other 
losses came to Clark, once in 
season play and once during 
the playoffs. 

Highlighting the squad 
was some exceptional play¬ 
ing from senior Scott Han¬ 
kins and junior Ed Gomez, 
who was the team high scor¬ 
er. Some outstanding play 
was also turned in by juniors 
Don Bacso and Rob Mackin-

One bright spot of the

the accomplishments of ju¬

Volkman then went to place 
first in the mile and second

In regionals, she placed 
fourth, and in state placed 
sixth in the half-mile. 

Other individuals also 
placed well in the confer¬ 
ence meet. Senior Janet 
Rutkowski placed ninth in 
the shotput and freshman 
Michelle Troksa placed sev¬ 
enth in the high jump. 

The team as a whole did 
not do too well, winning 
only one match, while los¬ 
ing eight.

Division 87 






CLASSES TEACH SKILLS 


The academic section of Mor¬ 
ton not only includes traditional 
classes but also several different 
types of academic classes and a 
variety of electives. 

The traditional classes of Eng¬ 
lish, math, and science are main¬ 
ly to improve the basics. 

Taking more complex classes 
from such electives as world and 
English literature to develop¬ 
mental reading and advanced 
composition is for those who 
wish to continue in formal educa¬ 
tion. 

The Foreign Language De¬ 
partment offers French, Ger¬ 
man, and Spanish, which may be 
taken all four years of high 
school. In these classes, begin¬ 
ning students learn simple 
phrases and verb conjugations. 
Advanced students learn actual 
conversations. 

The Social Studies Department 
offers more than the require¬ 
ments of U.S. history for juniors, 
and government for seniors. Eco¬ 
nomics was changed from a re¬ 
quired course to a recommended 
course for seniors. The depart¬ 
ment also offers such courses as 
geography, psychology, sociolo¬ 
gy and world history. They have 
basic, yet a wide field of studies 
of the past, present, and inner 
studies of social life. 

The Science Department has a 
vast array of courses. One learns 
the basic structure of life in the 
biology and health and safety 
classes. Elective classes consist 
of zoology, animal behavior, bot¬ 
any, physics, chemistry, and 
earth science. In these classes, 
students learn the process of life. 
In classes as zoology and animal 
behavior, students observe the 
behavior of animals by experi¬ 
ments. 

Morton offers a variety of math 
classes ranging from general 
math to calculus. College pre¬ 
paratory students are required to 
take algebra and geometry. Also 
offered is business math which 


deals with business careers. 

The business courses, includ¬ 
ing typing, shorthand, clerical 
practice, accounting and general 
business, are also important to 
learning. They offer students the 
basis of general offices, secretar¬ 
ial work or accounting careers. 

The Fine Arts Department 
consists of art, instrumental and 
vocal music. The music depart¬ 
ment incudes band, music the¬ 
ory, music history, and several 
choirs. The band performs for 
football and basketball games 
and march in parades. The con¬ 
cert and mixed choirs sing in 
public concerts. Art provides stu¬ 
dents with an opportunity to ex¬ 
press his/her creativity. 

Consumer Education offer 
courses as child development, 
foods and clothing. These pre¬ 
pare students for future home¬ 
making. The purpose of home 
economics is to help people with 
the problems of domestic chores 
as proper dress, and how to cook. 
Students develop an understand¬ 
ing of health care throughout the 
life cycle in family health. 


The Industrial Arts Depart¬ 
ment consists of electronics, met¬ 
als, woods, and mechanical draw¬ 
ing classes. Each class is de¬ 
signed to help students who plan 
to go on to careers dealing with 
Industrial Technology. Such 
things as blueprint reading and 
drawing, fixing machines, and 
making projects are all part of 
these courses. 

The Physical Education De¬ 
partment comes next. All stu¬ 
dents are required to take one 
year of gym to meet graduation 
requirements. Students are 
taught the basic skills in such 
sports as tennis, football, basket¬ 
ball, swimming, and golf. Ad¬ 
vanced courses consist of further 
physical improvement.

TEACHERS SET EXAMPLE 


The faculty at Morton does more than just 
teach, sponsor clubs, or do assigned extra-cur¬ 
ricular activities. The teachers get involved in 
the shaping of the students both inside and 
outside of school. 

When students become involved in extra¬ 
curricular activities they participate and learn 
from their experiences and mistakes. By being 
given responsibilities and being guided, the 
students learn independence and develop con¬ 
fidence in themselves. 

A student learns more from a teacher than 
just the subject the teacher is teaching. By 
helping out the students in various ways, the 
teachers pose an impression on the teen-agers, 
so that when the students get older, they will 
project on what the teachers have taught. 

Students may look up to the adults and fol¬ 
low their examples. Students watch the adults 
take their actions into consideration, and learn 
from these experiences. 

‘The teachers and the staff at Morton are 


helping to develop society, and will help a stu¬ 
dent, in the future, to become responsible. 

Along with developments and responsibil¬ 
ities there were some changes in the faculty 
this year. 

Mr. Anthony Waring, art teacher and head 
of the art department, retired after 30years of 
teaching at Morton. The new teacher is Mr. 
Rob Fischer, who taught at Gavit High School 
before coming to Morton. Mr. Walter Ruff re¬ 
tired at the end of the 1983 school year after 
teaching social studies, Latin, and English for 
36years. Miss Colantha Hill, who taught Home 
Ec for 3 years, is now teaching at Hammond 
High. Mrs. Mary Lacy, who taught business, 
was also transferred to Hammond High. Mr. 
Joel Romero, who taught Industrial arts for 5 
years is now at Clark High School. In addition, 
Mrs. Carol Brundidge, Social Worker of the 
Year for the state of Indiana, will work inside 
of Morton as well as the other schools in Hess- 
ville.

IN MEMORY 

Miss Wilma Clair, a Hammond educator the 
past 34 years, died of lukemia in St. Mary Hospi¬ 
tal in Rochester, Minnesota, April 25, 1983. 

Miss Clair, valedictorian of Mendon Township 
High School’s Class of 1941, earned a bachelor’s 
degree from Western Illinois University and a 
master’s degree from Loyola University in Chi¬ 
cago. 

'She was a very caring person, ” commented 
Principal Steve Sta vros. “What really impressed 
me was that she was always willing to do that 
little extra for the students; even if it meant 
bending the rules sometimes. ”

SENIORS BID ADIEU 


The time has come to donn our caps and 
gowns, and bid a teary adieu to all as the last 
year of high school has ended. Though 
friends part and life brings dramatic 
changes, the memories will linger on. 

The senior year was filled with happiness 
and sadness. As June neared, memories in¬ 
vaded the minds of many, and thoughts from 
the last few years of high school came rush¬ 
ing back. Of course, the most vivid memories 
were those of the final year experienced at 
Morton. 

Senior year consisted of many activities. 
Homecoming was a special time for the Class 


of 1984 because it was the last one. Powder 
Puff, which was scheduled during homecom¬ 
ing week, added to the excitement. 

Special events for most seniors were the 
last winter formal in November and the Ju¬ 
nior Senior Prom in April. Some students 
will always hold special memories of the 
awards and scholarships received during the 
last year of high school. 

Graduation brings serious thinking about 
one's past, present, and future. For some col¬ 
lege is the next step; for others there is mar¬ 
riage, work, or just a brief time to decide 
what to do in life.

’85 AWAITS FINAL YEAR 


For the juniors, the countdown is on as the light 
at the end of the tunnel is just ahead. 

The question running through the minds of most 
juniors is, “How can senior year arrive so soon?” 
During freshman year, becoming a senior seemed 
so far away but the years passed quickly, and the 
time has arrived for the juniors to serve their long 
waited term at the top of the “totem pole”. 

As freshman, what classes to take was the big¬ 
gest decision and what class ring to purchase was 
the biggest decision during the sophomore year. 
The main decision junior year was the theme and 
all involved in making a successful prom. The 
theme chosen for the 1983-1984 prom, which took 
place at the Wicker Park Social Center on April 27, 
was “Steppin Out” and the colors selected for the 
occasion were blue and silver. 

At the time, the decisions were of great impor¬ 
tance but do not compare to those to be made in the 


years ahead. Now suddenly, the juniors are faced 
with the decision of what will become of one's life 
after graduation. That determination of which 
could effect the outcome of one’s entire future. 

This year was also filled with a lot of fun as the 
junior girls were given the chance to compete in 
the annual Powder Puff game. Although they were 
defeated by the seniors, 34-26, the juniors never 
lost their spirit. 

The Class of '85 looks ahead with great anticipa¬ 
tion and some with a bit of sadness for just as quick¬ 
ly as senior year arrived it will also come to an end. 
Some juniors believe that senior year is a time for 
having fun and not worrying about grades, others 
believe that it is a time to do the best they can 
academically to prepare themselves for college. 
But, all will focus on making of memories that will 
stay fresh in the minds of the Class of '85 for many 
years to come.

FINALLY! 


The time is finally coming when the Class of ’86 
can safely say that they are “upperclassmen.” 
Without a doubt, the Class of ’86 is halfway to the 
top. 

In the midst of the 1983-84 school year a num¬ 
ber of things took place for the sophomore class, 
one of them being the traditional purchasing of 
class-rings. 

With the help of class sponsors, Mr. David Lind¬ 
sey and Ms. Nora Mann, class officers, and mem¬ 
bers of the sophomore class, raffle tickets were 
sold to raise money for the 1985 prom. The Class 
of ’86 would like to attempt something totally dif¬ 
ferent for their prom but the final plans are still in 
the making. 

The sophomore class also worked hard aca¬ 
demically to meet graduation requirements — bi¬ 
ology, English 3&4 and a math class — geometry 
or math 3 & 4 were just a few of the classes taken. 

Homecoming was not an exceptionally happy 
time for the sophomore class, as their float placed 
last in the homecoming parade. 

With junior year in mind, the Class of ’86 bid a 
farewell to the title “underclassmen”.

FROSH BEGIN 


The Class of ’87got off to an extra difficult start 
as freshmen. Along with the traditional problems 
that come along with starting high school such as 
initiation, the freshman were left without a class 
sponsor. 

The freshman soon found out that fitting in at 
high school was not as big a deal as it once seemed 
to be, as it did not take very long for one to get 
acquainted with the system at Morton. 

The freshman class did not take a big part in 
homecoming due to the problem of not having 
sponsors but the class was represented by Sheryl 
Reyes and Shannon Doughman as freshman at¬ 
tendants in the homecoming court. 

English 1 & 2, health and safety, physical edu¬ 
cation, and a math class — Algebra or Math 1 & 2, 
were just a few of the classes taken during one’s 
freshman year to begin to meet graduation re¬ 
quirements. 

The Class of ’87 is beginning to consider the 
agenda that they will be faced with during the 
sophomore year. Getting started with fundraisers 
to prepare themselves financially for prom and 
the purchasing of classrings are just a few exam¬ 
ples found on the list. 

All of the students life he/she was told what to 



do and when to do it but seldom told why, as 
freshman, one discovers that a big advantage of 
high school is being able to make some of one’s 
own decisions, the student also discovers that he 
must likewise learn to live with these decisions.

IMAGES 


I’d like to express much thanks to this 
year’s Top Hat staff. Everyone worked to¬ 
gether wonderfully and met their deadlines. 
The whole staff worked hard in putting this 
yearbook together. Whether it was drawing 
up layouts, cropping pictures, selling ads or 
writing captions, everyone helped each oth¬ 
er. I’d also like to thank Mr. Scott Markley, 
our advisor, for all the help and inspiration. I 
don’t think that words can express what I 
learned from being involved in putting a 
yearbook together. 

It can be frustrating for an editor when 
he/she had to do one thing over and over 
until it’s done correctly. While working on a 
yearbook or even a newspaper, one can nev¬ 
er expect to do something one time and get it 
right. It’s a process that takes patience, time, 
and devotion. 

We chose the theme “Images” because we 
feel it symbolizes our four years of high 
school. High school provides each student 
with an “image” of many different careers 
and lifestyles. It is the time when one must 
start considering an avenue. The avenue, in 
turn, may be chosen on an impression, an 
“image”, that he/she received while in high 
school. 

We hope that each student at Morton will 
again read Top Hat several years from now 
and the book will provide the stimuli that 
brings back all of the good times and dreams 
that each student shared with friends. After 
all, they can say these are the bpst of times! 


Good Luck, 
Cindy Psuik 
Managing Editor
